($20): As enthusiastic as I am for Snoqualmie’s regular Cabernet, the Reserve is even more eye-popping.  To reiterate, similar to Snoqualmie’s regular Cabernet, the quality of this Reserve Cabernet is extraordinary, considering the price.  It’s longer and more concentrated — filled with black fruit-like flavors, herbal notes and spice — but thankfully, it’s not one of those massive “killer” Cabernets.  Despite its power, it’s filled with finesse.  Its luxurious texture is enthralling.  There’s even a subtle tarriness in the finish.  You can celebrate this summer without breaking the bank.
